But even then, Dark Souls suffers from lack of exposition to really make it the middle ground example you're looking for
I used to think like Backfire but grew bored of always looking for the same thing in a video game. Now it's easier for me to appreciate both gameplay focused games as well as the narrative driven ones, even if fans of each like to flame the phuck out of each other for no reason.
Same here. I actually never minded the long Metal Gear cut scenes.
But I grew up on jrpg's during the Nintendo age, and those are all narrative driven (After the very early Final Fantasies/Dragon Warrior, at least)

Looking forward to seeing more of this at E3. There's a box art/release date leak floating around the internet but it looks and sounds fake so we'll see.
Not very widespread backlash. That criticism came from an editorial on RPS (not linking since I don't want to spread clicks). Mike Pondersmith, creator of the Cyberpunk tabletop game (he's also working on the video game with CDPR), gave bullet-point reply that called out the stupidity of the article. The Founder of RPS then backed up the idiot who wrote the article on twitter with a retarded retort that completely missed the point Pondersmith made.
Then Cyberpunk sold a fuk ton on steam in preorders to be the top selling game. The founder nearly shit himself:

I agree with the idea that you shouldn't preorder, but the reason he made CP2077 the centerpiece of that article is kind of transparent.

I agree regarding release date....I highly doubt its coming out in April 2020. It's almost an entire year until the date and its a very complicated game....I say Aug 2020.....
CDPR themselves said people should wait until they can see more footage and gameplay before they preorder, so he's literally mad at people for spending their own money on something they want.
Also CDPR have been working on this game for years, and I mean even before Witcher 3. They said almost nothing the entire time, so if they drop a release date, at E3 at that? It's coming out on that day.
I reeeeaaally hope he's a man of his word and eats his f*cking shorts on release day.
You really think there isn't a chance this release date gets pushed back?
And I don't understand how CDPR hasn't said anything. They have been talking about this game over the last year. They even showed 40ish minutes of gameplay last year.
The game could be out on that date but a highly doubt a huge game like this with many different systems and story elements will hit a date the first time. Witcher 3 was delayed numerous amounts of time.
I have it on my 360, and played for about ten minutes. I have a problem with stealth based games, where I want to play it the "right" way, sneaking around without being seen like a ninja, and end up getting caught, go on a killing spree, and quit in shame.
The exception is MGS, where I just snap necks/slit throats, then run and hide if I trip an alarm.

I'm pretty confident they wouldn't have announced it after nearly a decade of silence if they weren't ready to release it then.
And as I mentioned, almost the entire development time. They started showing stuff late 2018 and now in 2019. But that's a year or 2 from release. Before that there was almost nothing out there.
